Event Summary

Event Overview

Wiggle Coasting in Cornwall is the big new Cornish sportive. With our event HQ at National Trust Lanhydrock, we’ve not only got some of the quietest and most beautiful parts of Cornwall and the coast on our doorstep, but also benefit from quick and easy access from ‘up-country’ and the whole of the Western Peninsular – we’re less than an hour from the M5. Cycling in Cornwall is always going to be challenging but the scenic rewards are out of this world.

There are three exciting new route options of 91, 60 or a very palatable 38 miles. There’s an accessible and achievable route for everyone and each one is as challenging as you want to make it. Wiggle Coasting in Cornwall begins by skirting the mildly hilly southern flanks of Bodmin Moor before gently turning south to the English Channel coast at Looe. Then beautiful rolling countryside to the Lerryn and Fowey valleys. The 91 and 60 options show off some of Cornwall’s former industrial heritage passing the world’s finest china clay deposits along with quaint old tin mines where the Cornish pasty originated. There’s the Eden Project too and a second coastal visit, this time the Atlantic, for the 91 milers via the Vale of Mawgan. You might want to call in at one of the world famous Rick Stein eating establishments in Padstow before the route gently wends it’s way back to Lanhydrock - with the probable assistance from an Atlantic westerly.
